Outta Here...Or Maybe Not (UPDATED)
I can delay no more.......I'm outta here.
Lana is gassed up and ready to go.
Lee (the Garmin) is at least pointing in the correct general direction. We'll just have to SEE how that part of it goes.
Temps are dropping, ice is forming. Yippee (not)
I've packed for 4 days, just in case. Extra warm weather gear is loaded along with a case of water. Hell, I even packed an extra blankey, just in case.
I'll stop before I leave town, for a good "get on the road" meal so I won't have to stop too early into the drive. And...I've got some fruits and veggies with a few snack bars tucked into a bag on the front seat.
AND I grabbed the atlas. You know, just in case Lee decides to act up this trip.
Of course I ran out of printer ink, so I'll have to find a Kinkos or Staples before my call tomorrow, but other than that.....I think I'm ready.
The latest news on the road conditions up Wisconsin way is that there is no where for the water to drain so there are huge standing puddles. Puddles that are freezing as of now. Snow has started in portions of the state and I'm headin' right to it. Like a moth to a flame. Like a steel pin to a magnet. Like an idiot who has no life.
So.....wish me luck. I'm hoping to post once I settle in tonite.
And I'll just leave you with this one thought.....WTF am I doing?!?!?!?
UPDATE Well, my Grandpa always said, the good Lord looks out for Children and fools. I guess I fall into one of those categories. As I got ready to head out of town I ran into a glitch. A glitch that delays me until tomorrow morning. So.....I left the stuff in the car, and am hunkerin' down to enjoy my evening. I hate the fact that everything is pushed back a day - but better just that and not something terrible. Like an accident. Or me lost in an ice storm somewhere up north. THAT wouldn't make me happy either!
What, no chains on the tires?
Posted by: Roses at February 17, 2008 05:41 PM Yanno, even losing this account is better than death. I'm not real big on tellin' folks how to live but there isn't a freezing spell goes by that people don't die from gong out when they could have stayed in.
And from what you've said before about your family tending to die in accidents...
